Abstract
We present a case of a 72-year-old patient who underwent percutaneous transluminal coronary angioplasty due to a chronic total occlusion of left anterior descending artery. The balloon catheter ruptured and entrapped in the chronic lesion and had broken while attempting to remove from the lesion. End portion of the balloon catheter retained in the lesion. We tried various extraction methods but were unsuccessful. Because of the patient’s high surgical risk, we left the broken part of balloon catheter in lesion and fixed it to the coronary wall by stenting.
